Newdelhi:14/1/25: A group of Indian Statistical Service (ISS) probationers (2024 batch) called on the President of India, Smt Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan today (January 14, 2025).

Addressing the probationers, the President said that statistical tools and quantitative techniques play a significant role in effective governance by providing empirical foundation for policy decisions. Governments rely on national statistical systems to collect data on health, education, population size, and employment, which form the basis for policy-making. Statistical analysis is a tool to bring transparency and accountability in governance. Statistics is the backbone of efficient governance and a tool for socio-economic development.

The President said that the Government needs data to formulate, implement, and monitor policies as well as for policy review and impact assessment. The citizens need data for impartial understanding and assessment of government schemes and programmes. The job of ISS officers requires high proficiency in statistical methods, which they would use to provide solutions to the data and information needs of the country. While collecting data, she urged ISS officers to be sensitive to the needs of common people, especially the poor and underprivileged. She said that every bit of data that they collect, will be processed, analysed, and ultimately used for addressing the needs of the people and helping them achieve their dreams.

The President said that as India moves towards achieving inclusive and sustainable development, statistical research will play a greater role in monitoring environmental impacts and climate change. The research conducted by ISS officers to track indicators related to energy consumption and carbon emissions, can enable India to create data-driven strategies for sustainable development and environmental conservation. These strategies will further help India in meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
